GENERAL DENTISTRY
Comprehensive Dental Exams
Regular dental exams are fundamental for preventive care, allowing our experienced dental professional to conduct a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, and bone. This comprehensive examination checks for signs of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Early detection is key to maintaining optimal oral health, enabling prompt intervention and minimizing the need for extensive treatments.
Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings are essential for removing plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth, even in hard-to-reach areas that regular brushing and flossing may miss. These cleanings enhance the aesthetics of your smile and significantly contribute to preventing cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Regular cleanings are a proactive measure to maintain overall oral health.
X-rays and Imaging
Dental X-rays are diagnostic tools providing a comprehensive view of your oral structures, including teeth, roots, and jawbone. These images help identify hidden dental issues that may not be visible during a clinical examination. X-rays play a crucial role in detecting cavities, evaluating tooth and root health, and planning treatments, ensuring a thorough understanding of your oral condition for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
Fillings
Dental fillings, a common treatment for cavities, involve removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the cavity with materials such as tooth-colored composite or traditional amalgam. This routine and relatively painless procedure restores the integrity of a tooth, preventing further decay and maintaining its function. Fillings are vital for preserving natural teeth and preventing more extensive dental issues.
Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns are caps that are placed over damaged or weakened teeth, providing strength and protection. Bridges are anchored by crowns on adjacent teeth, replacing missing teeth. Crowns and bridges restore the functionality and aesthetics of your smile, protecting compromised teeth from further damage and offering a durable, natural-looking solution for tooth replacement, preventing issues associated with missing teeth.
Periodontal Care
Periodontal care focuses on maintaining healthy gums and preventing or treating gum disease. Common treatments include scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline. Healthy gums are essential for overall oral health, and periodontal care prevents and addresses gum disease, which, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and impact systemic health.
Night Guards
Custom-made night guards are crucial for tackling teeth grinding (bruxism) during sleep. These oral appliances prevent wear and damage, preserving natural teeth and alleviating symptoms like enamel erosion and jaw pain. Tailored for comfort and effectiveness, night guards promote restful sleep while safeguarding oral health. Incorporating a night guard is a proactive step to prevent long-term damage and maintain optimal oral health.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening procedures aim to lighten the color of teeth and remove stains, with options including in-office treatments and take-home kits. This enhances the aesthetics of your smile, boosting confidence and improving overall appearance. Teeth whitening is a safe and effective procedure, providing a quick and noticeable improvement in tooth color.
